The ULTIMATE GLUTEN FREE Easter Egg Update 2019… Chocolate Producers, High Street & Decadent Easter Eggs…

So it’s soon to be Chocolate Heaven and Easter 2019 and there are so many EGG-Sellent GLUTEN FREE choices out there today but do you know which Chocolate Easter Eggs, Chocolate Mini Egg or Chocolate Figurines do not contain GLUTEN?

Last year, I had published a single comprehensive GUIDE includes Chocolate Producers, High Street and Decadent Easter Eggs for 2018, but there’s no surprise that there’s even more choice and offerings than ever before….

As I love my Chocolate Bars, Chocolate Boxes and Decadent Chocolate and High Street Chocolate Treats, I found myself examining Ingredients, Allergen Information and photographing this year’s offerings for Easter 2019. For me, Easter Egg research started in February when they first appeared on the shelves!

They have no other warnings but on the website they state: “We make some chocolates, including Crispy Praline, Honeycomb Crunch and a Honeycomb Crisp bar which are made using crisp rice, which contains gluten. This gluten is derived from wheat. While these chocolates are not specifically in all of our selections, all our chocolates are made in the same environment as the chocolates with gluten. Thus there is always a chance, however unlikely, that these chocolates may contain gluten and all packaging declares ‘may contain traces of gluten’, except for selections which contain the crispy chocolates which declares that they ‘contain gluten’.Butlers Chocolates are produced on shared equipment that handles ingredients that contains gluten. Therefore, all Butlers Chocolates products may contain traces of gluten“.

So be careful if you’re a Coeliac or sensitive as they are made with NO GLUTEN CONTAINING INGREDIENTS, and these two products have no “may contain…” when you pick them up and EGG-samine them, but they have a different message on their own website! As seen in Waitrose & Selfridges.

Such a shame as three years ago, I included many Hotel Chocolat products for Easter 2016. The staff have reassured me that no recipes have changed but some of the products are exposed to the risk of cross-contamination due to the production of chocolates that contain GLUTEN: hence, the change in emphasis.

Homemade Luxury Linden Lady Easter Egg

Contains MILK PEANUTS & SOYA.

Decorated Hollow Easter Egg by Linden Lady

Contains MILK, EGG, & SOYA.

LINDT: are a really controversial Chocolatier as several versions do contain barley extract (such as the Extra Creamy Excellence Bar) and Lindt make the point of cross-contamination in their literature (similarly to Green & Blacks) specifically on their FAQ on the USA Website. Therefore, if you are very sensitive to “may contain wheat” then, avoiding Lindt is probably best but a Limited Edition Chocolate (Strawberries & Cream) was launched for Christmas 2015 and has made a reappearance with a Chocolate Easter Egg for 2018.

(The debate continues as Coeliac UK have stated in their FAQ: “Malt extract and malt flavourings are commonly made from barley, although they can be produced from other grains. Barley malt extract is a flavouring often added in small amounts to breakfast cereals and chocolates. Foods that contain barley malt extract in smaller amounts can be eaten by people with Coeliac Disease. However, any foods that contain barley malt extract will be labelled as containing barley and you will not be able to tell from the ingredients list how much has been used” which is useful to know but confusing as theoretically, Lindt Chocolate could be eaten, even as a Coeliac. And clearly some Lindt Chocolate Bars use Wheat as an ingredient within the stabilizer and /or in the biscuit flavourings. FYI the majority of the Excellence Range are made with ingredients that do not contain GLUTEN).

Indeed, online, you can selected “Dietary Requirements” and several options to show:

Lindt Strawberries & Cream

And remember I love my revised Chocolate Box guide (based upon Chocolatier Producers, Chocolate Boxes on the High Street and Luxurious Chocolate Boxes, Chocolate Bars, Chocolate Bags, my Chocolate Easter Eggs from Chocolatiers and Chocolate manufacturers, High Street Stores and London Department Stores and more recently, my Valentine Chocolates.

SIGN UP so you do not miss out on future updates to the Chocolate Bar listing, as well as new Restaurant Reviews, Travelling experiences, Food Shows, Product Reviews and (occasional) Recipes. Also check out my posts on GLUTEN FREE Ice Cream, GLUTEN FREE Advent Calendars, GLUTEN FREE Mince Pies, GLUTEN FREE Easter Eggs and GLUTEN FREE Valentines Treats.

This information was correct as of April 2019.

But as I am learning, ingredients do change and therefore you should always read the label and check for yourself whether it is GLUTEN FREE or not!
